Back to Work...

I’m back at work after a 4-day super long weekend. And it sucks. Not the job, but the fact that I’m here, having to work when I’m feeling absolutely crappy. This nausea thing is getting from bad to worse, and I have a feeling that I won’t be able to hold back actually throwing up for much longer. My head feels like it’s splitting down the centre because of a massive headache plus sinus that has been lingering around and doesn’t seem to wanna go away. I’m so tired that it feels like I can fall asleep anytime anywhere, but when it comes time to actually sleep at night, I can’t sleep. I’m running to the loo every half an hour or less sometimes and my office is really really far away from the damn loo! I’m constipated, causing a lingering tummy ache, making me worry about whether baby is okay in there. I wish I could just stay home and curl up in bed all day :(


Sucks, but I just keep telling myself that this is a small small price to pay for the privilege of having this new baby grow within me. And I shall keep reminding myself of that. Whenever I do, it makes it all a little more bearable.


I decided to not go for the blood test today, going against my brilliant master plan from last week. Blood tests are not always necessary until the first antenatal appointment when they test for all sorts of stuff like vaccines and immunity and stuff, so I decided to save my blood for then. Unless of course the doctor tomorrow orders it, but chances are their own urine test would be more than sufficient. 1 more day before I get to see the doctor and confirm things :) I will probably try and request for an early ultrasound, either with this doctor or whomever I get booked in with next at the actual first appointment. Irregular periods = dates that are iffy, and I wanna know with more certainty how far along Baby A is now. And also because this is an assisted conception with medication, there are risks of early miscarriages and multiples, so it will help put our mind at ease hopefully.


I’ll update again after seeing the doctor :)
